Carey, Sheila 85, of West Roxbury originally from Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. January 1, 2019.
A strong woman of faith who grew up in Ireland. She was a resident of Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in West Roxbury. The care that they gave Sheila at Hebrew Rehab was amazing. Her guardian and health care proxy, Fr. John Carroll, administrator of St. John Chrysostom Parish expressed his gratitude to all the staff for giving her a quality of life. Fr. John said he loved her simplicity of faith and the sincerity in which she relied on her God and lived her faith. It was a privilege for me to be her guardian and health care proxy. God was the one she had total trust in, as she said many rosaries in the course of her day. She had a personal relationship with her God and frequently received communion. God took her home where there is no more pain or illness, embraced by His loving presence. Welcome home Sheila!
Beloved daughter of the late John and Maryanne (O’Connell) Carey. Loving sister of the late Patrick Carey of Ireland.
Sheila emigrated to the United States and became a citizen in 1970, in which she was very proud. Sheila worked as a clerk for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for more than 25 years.
